It began as a tribe in Söğüt. It spread across three continents. Three centuries, thirteen sultans. Successor: Ottomans is a decision-making role-playing game set in the classical Ottoman age (1299–1603). From your throne you steer the founding and rise of the Ottoman Empire. The game opens with Osman I and closes with Mehmed III. Every sultan in between has his own reign, death, and legacy. More than seven hundred historical decisions shape your reign, the inheritance you leave your successor, and the fate of the dynasty. Every decision carries a price. There is no right answer, only what the moment demands. The promised Constantinople. A Crusader army in Rumelia. The courtyard where the Janissary cauldron is overturned. The Imperial Council whose counsel you need yet can never fully trust. Each stands on one side of the throne. You swipe left or right. Each side has its own cost. THE CHRONICLER WRITES As you sit on the throne, the court chronicler watches you. He records every decision, weighs it, and carries it to the next sultan. When a sultan dies, his successor inherits not a throne but a ledger. A wrong choice by Bayezid I may be paid for by Mehmed I a decade later. A dynasty moves across generations. WHAT IS INSIDE Thirteen sultans, each with his own reign, death, and legacy. More than 700 historical decisions. A legacy system that shapes the starting conditions of the next reign. More than 1000 chronicler remarks. A full story in Turkish and English. STARTS FREE The reigns of Osman I and Orhan Gazi can be played for free. A one-time Full Version purchase is required to continue from Murad I through Mehmed III. No subscription. The free version is ad-supported and includes a two-track music selection. The Full Version removes ads, enables offline play, and unlocks the full 10-track music album. Previous purchases can be restored. No account required. This game is a work of fiction inspired by historical events. It cannot be regarded as an academic source and does not target or intend to offend any person, community, view, or belief.
